Any reason .BMP images aren't loading in the browser? by .blade// on 02-25-2005 at 10:07 PM
I don't know if it's just me, but attached .BMP images aren't oppening in the browser window for these forums [tried with IE and Firefox].
Example: http://shoutbox.menthix.net/attachment.php?pid=390417
Happen for anyone else?

Usually .bmp's are huge, and maybe that's some way to keep it from reloading ?

Not really, Its the standard BMP Editor for Windows.
Who would upload a BMP, anyway? Not very web friendly.

Opens fine in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer here. I think you fucked up blade.
* Concord Dawn wonders if someone still has that pic.

What I mean is that the image should display IN THE BROWSER, not in MSPAINT or w/e.

Must be a bug in the forums...
RE: Any reason .BMP images aren't loading in the browser? by Millenium_edition on 02-25-2005 at 11:44 PM
umm, that's normal behaviour, there is no normal browser which supports bmp

Thats nuts! How does it open in paint like that.
* DJeX rips apart bmp's code
hummm
Edit (UPDATE)
* DJeX finds out that it's not the actual file but it's the way the forum made the link to the picture. I think it must have something to do with the numbers of the attachment "390417" conflicting with the code in the attachment.php or in IE when the link is executed. Most likely it's IE causeing the problem because I can't see how a .php code could force paint to open with the pic.
I uploaded the same pic to my server and it loads fine

Hmm... it seems that images with a mime type of "image/x-bmp" won't open in the browser, while "image/bmp" works fine.
I'll code a quick filter to change x-bmp to bmp.
